    How would you make Hockey better?

    We always seem to switch from the topic of threads to how would you improve the game, removing the redline or what ever so lets have a discussion here.

    If you were Commish what would you do to improve the game of Hockey at any level?

    I don't know specifics, but I think the pads goalies use should be investigated and reviewed. I bet the pads are just massive, and it'd liven up things if they cut down on the size a bit, without losing any of the protective nature.

          They did this last season and there are rules in place now for goalies pads, I dont know how you would check on them because im sure they have more than one pair and if they can get an edge they would. Also if your limiting pad size remove 2 piece sticks, puckhandling is a more importanmt skill than shot strength.

                      Good point, I say go back to just 1 referee and two linesmen and, this should make Donovan cream his pants, eliminate the instigator rule.
                      Let these guys play. If the instigator rule is eliminated then I don't care if they stay with two refs, but with two refs now, it's almost impossible for a team to retaliate to anything.

                      Also, either make the goal slightly bigger or shrink the size of goalie equipment. There's nothing more ridiculous than a 5 foot 10 inch, 190 pound goalie that looks like he's 6 foot 5, 260 with all his equipment on.

                            Move the goalines back to where they were, regulate the goaltender equipment, actually call all the hooking and holding and add shootouts to regular season games.
